God’s Parts Department

Have you ever prayed for healing? Maybe your body was diseased or an organ was weak or malfunctioning!

With your permission, I would like to take an unusual look at the Scriptures, and apply some of them differently than many of you have considered before.

In his writings, King David recognized that God knew him inside and out. He understood that the Lord had watched him as he was formed and growing before birth, and kept records.

Psalm 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psalm 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

I am fascinated by the phrase, “in thy book all my members were written.”  God has a book! If my body parts are cataloged, then my carnal mind can envision something akin to a Divine Parts Department.

We mortals are only able to conceptualize the workings of the Lord on a limited basis, I know. Bear with me in my folly.

When I need a part for my vehicle, I write down the VIN number or a take a picture of it before I go to the counter. I tell the person behind the counter what I need. I tell him the make and model of my car and present him with the Vehicle Identification Number.

My eyes follow him as he turns pages in his massive book and his finger follows diagrams or charts locating my part number. After the price is paid, I am given the new part.

So, You need a new heart? A lung? A kidney? An eardrum? He has all of your parts numbered and written down.

The good news is that it’s all ready been paid for. So, make your request known, and pick it up at your convenience.

A side note, He includes a new insert into all of His parts before He gives them to you!

Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I would write more, but I’m heading out to His Parts Department right now. I’ve just called in an order.
